Qin Ye shook his head vigorously to rid his mind of all the random thoughts.
Qin Ye braced himself and walked up to the main stage, where he waved his hand at the thunderous applause below like a robot. He could feel the green eyes of wolves staring at him from below, causing his hair to stand on end.
"It looks like Comrade Qin is pleasantly surprised by this decision." Governor Gao immediately quipped.
At the same time, he glanced meaningfully at Mayor Zhao - Didn't you inform us beforehand?
Mayor Zhao was baffled - I told you earlier!
Letting Qin Ye take the stage was something that had already been decided.
But it still felt a little surreal to say it aloud.
It would be great if someone could personally stand here and give a demonstration.
He's an S-class cultivator who has broken through nine hunting zones in a row. He's even joined the Special Investigations Department for the sake of righteousness. Furthermore, he's a man who has a good reputation among the personnel who have participated in the battle that night. What better candidate could there be?
We can't possibly let an Infernal Judge or a Hellguard demonstrate for us, can we?
A Soul Hunter isn't too big, but it's definitely not too small either. It's just right for me to use.
Qin Ye's smile was uglier than a crying face. His hands were placed at his waist, ready to draw his saber and flee at a moment's notice.
Surprise … This is pure fucking shock!
Zhou Xianlong walked out and placed a certificate of honour in Qin Ye's hands under Qin Ye's flickering gaze.
He smiled faintly, "Twenty thousand merit points. That's not easy.
These merit points can be used to redeem some decent items. You can check them out on the app.
Most Hellguard-class experts don't even get more than forty to fifty thousand merit points. "
"Mm …" Qin Ye responded with a stiff smile on his face.
Apart from a dry chuckle, he was completely speechless.
Zhou Xianlong looked at his expression and furrowed his brows, "Are you … still able to hold on?"
"I'm alright …" Qin Ye's mind was completely blank. The king of wolves is right in front of me, staring at me and asking if I'm feeling well, and if I'm comfortable in the wolf den … Of course I'm able to hold on!
Hurry up and let me down!
I really can't hold on for another few minutes!
Your Observation Haki is already making it difficult for me to breathe, alright?!
Even Arthis was completely silent.
"That's good." Zhou Xianlong heaved a sigh of relief, "Then … let's give everyone a demonstration."
Huh?!
What did you say?
I didn't hear you clearly!
Qin Husky Night maintained its smile and looked at Zhou Xianlong in horror.
It could be said that he had exploded in anger.
He really wanted to slap himself a few times!
Not bad your sister!
What did I just say!
Director, I took the wrong script!
There was no such rule before!
Zhou Xianlong thought that he didn't understand, so he chuckled in a low voice, "Demonstrate your spells to the audience in front of the TV or computer. It doesn't have to be too profound, but it has to be intimidating.
Let everyone understand what it means to be a cultivator. "
Without missing a beat, Qin Ye turned around and addressed everyone, "Perhaps those of you who are watching the livestream right now might not know what an investigator is.
However, I can give everyone a direct impression. "
Don't say anymore …
Qin Ye looked up at the heavens with tears welling up in his eyes - Even if the heavens want me dead … please don't say anymore!
You've already picked up the husky. What else do you want from me?
What was he going to do?
Zhou Xianlong's voice suddenly rose as if he had heard the call of his soul. "So!
Let us invite the youngest investigator in history, S9527, to prove to everyone what it means to be a cultivator! "
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause rang out, and countless envious eyes stared at Qin Ye.
"Pfft."
The handsome man in the third row snorted in dissatisfaction, "If not for the fact that I wasn't around that day … it's not as if I couldn't have given the nine hunting zones a try …"
"What luck."
A woman beside him exclaimed, "You've left an impression on the future Academy of Cultivators just by showing your face. Why don't I have the same luck?"
Qin Ye felt as though his mouth no longer belonged to him. He tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, "Chief, please allow me to prepare for five minutes."
Zhou Xianlong nodded. Qin Ye walked to the side of the stage and immediately whispered, "What do we do?!
My techniques are all based on Yin energy!
As soon as I use them, I'll collect your corpse!
Don't worry, I'll definitely sell you out before I die! "
"Bloody hell … don't be nervous!"
Arthis was also flustered. She had never encountered such an awkward situation in her hundreds of years as an Infernal Judge. She pondered for a moment, "It's fine!
The shard of King Yanluo's Seal is a divine artifact of Hell. Just one shard should be more than enough to fool the other party!
Unless you've been promoted to a higher level, you'll never be discovered! "
"But if your techniques are disguised as Yin energy, where are your clothes?
You can only use your techniques when you're in your Hell's Emissary state!
As soon as you're in your Hell's Emissary state, you'll be immediately recognized even if your entire body is filled with true energy!
The characteristics are too obvious!
There are definitely records of it back in the mortal realm! "
"That's why you'd better hurry up and think of something!
Why don't I tear open the soul sphere and release you? "
"No … please don't … I think it's better to stay in there. We must have a better solution."
"Aren't you always tempting me to tear it open?!"
"Is this any other time?!!"
Arthis was furious. After several seconds of deliberation, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I've got it!"
"The Hell's Emissary uniform can be transformed into any form, but there's only one chance at each level!
As long as you transform it into a completely different form from the Hell's Emissary uniform, and use the shard of King Yanluo's Seal to conceal the Yin energy, you'll definitely be able to get away with it! "
"What form?"
"Think about it yourself!
Isn't modern times full of information?
Can't you just use one of those domineering transformations you've seen in the movies?
Iron Man!
Calabash Brothers!
There are so many Chuyin forms. You can use whichever one you want! "
"What the hell is a Chuyin …" Qin Ye gritted his teeth. The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of anything. Just then, a male voice called out from beside him, "Mr Qin, the chief has asked me to ask you if you're ready."
Qin Ye gritted his teeth, "Ready … Yes!"
"Please."
With a stiff smile on his face, Qin Ye stood at the center of the main stage once more.
More than three million pairs of curious eyes immediately followed him.
Zhang Linhua's eyes were as wide as saucers. He couldn't believe that his' godfather 'was actually someone from the Special Investigations Department!
There were some things that his father couldn't explain to him, but he had suddenly figured it out.
"What … did I give up back then …"
Most of the people stared at the screen with great interest.
What was a cultivator?
Was it like the martial artists in the novels?
What kind of terrifying combat prowess would this young man who looked even younger than him possess?
"Come on."
Zhou Xianlong smiled and nodded. This was just like how any brand would invite a celebrity to endorse them. This was the most intuitive impression.
Qin Ye drew a deep breath. His temples tensed up as he faced the inquisitive gazes of the audience. There was only one thought in his mind - Transform, transform, transform …
Bloody hell … the more I think about it, the more inappropriate it feels!
Nothing is appropriate!
Illidan?
Naked!
Iron Man?
Why the hell did you suddenly go into a sci-fi style?
"Mr Qin?" Zhou Xianlong raised his eyebrows slightly, "You may begin."
This is a rush, isn't it … Qin Ye maintained the stiff smile on his face as he cursed in his heart, "Then … shall I begin?"
Zhou Xianlong smiled and nodded. Despite his smile, his eyes were practically saying - Hurry up!
There's no way to hide. Qin Ye took a deep breath. Then, just as everyone held their breaths in anticipation, he coughed lightly, "I'm … really going to begin."
Smile.
The big shots on the stage continued to smile and nod.
Their smiles were somewhat subtle.
Boom!!
Qin Ye gritted his teeth, and a cloud of true energy exploded on the main stage. As soon as the true energy exploded, it immediately began to swirl around Qin Ye like a cyclone. Everything within a three-meter radius of Qin Ye was covered in mist.
One of the division chiefs watched the scene intently and nodded his head, "The quality of his true energy is impressive, and the range of his explosion is vast. As expected of a genius who was able to destroy nine hunting zones in a row."
"That's right … Back in the day, it was already impressive enough that we could even connect two hunting zones."
Another division chief chimed in with great excitement, "His true energy has changed. It should be something similar to the God Summoning Lineage. Unfortunately, it's a lost art. I'm curious as to which Buddha he's able to summon?
Or perhaps the City God? "
Meanwhile, the citizens who were already watching intently in front of their screens gasped in unison, and then exploded into an uproar!
"Is this for real?!" "Is this even humanly possible?
It's not just some special effects? "" Holy shit … is this what a cultivator is like?
Can it really be done? "
The shock of watching it on film was completely different from watching it in person!
Everyone knew that the film was fake, and that it was a work of art. But … it was all real!
It was happening right in front of their very eyes.
What was in the smoke?
What would it become?
Back in the villa, a chubby boy tightened his grip on his mouse.
Back in the school, several of his peers waited with bated breath.
Back in the LED screen, the girl who was munching on her snacks also stopped chewing.
At this very moment, everyone's eyes were glued to him.
Qin Ye's Hell's Emissary transformation took place. One second … two seconds … three seconds later, the cocoon-like cyclone suddenly exploded!
A figure appeared from within.
"It's out!" The division chief's gaze trembled, "Let me take a closer look …"
But before he could even finish speaking, all of his words were suddenly stuck in his throat.
A split second later, the entire venue fell silent.
No … it wasn't just the entire venue. Rather, the entire City of Salvation was completely silent.
"Haa …" Qin Ye wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. The first thing he did was to press down on his waist, and then slowly relax.
Good. I haven't been attacked.
In other words, I haven't been discovered by the pack of wolves …
He reached out and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. Then, he suddenly discovered that he was wearing a glove on his hand.
Military green.
"This is …" A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, and he immediately touched his face. Then, he glanced downwards, and he nearly broke down and roared at the top of his voice.
Under the watchful eyes of millions of people, he was wearing an old-fashioned jungle combat helmet.
There was even a pair of red goggles attached to the helmet.
He wore a red scarf, green military boots, and carried two backpacks on his back, each of which was filled with scrolls of blueprints.
"This is …" Seventy percent of the youngsters in front of the screen were stunned for a moment before bursting into raucous laughter.
"Awesome!
Awesome!! "A high school student laughed so hard that he nearly fell over," Teemo!
It's actually Teemo!
Hahahahaha!
This is a script, isn't it?!
There's definitely a script!
I'm dying of laughter! "
"He's cosplaying Teemo!
Awesome!
I'm a fucking fan of him! "" Holy shit … t-this is way too f * cking cool, isn't it?!
He's even taking off his pants for me to see! "" Godly restoration of Teemo!
You're the only one I admire! "" Awesome + 1 … Although I respect the Special Investigations Department, why do I feel like laughing so much?
I can't … I can't hold it in anymore … hahahaha! "
"Ahahaha!!!" A handsome man in the third row was rocking back and forth with laughter, "Bloody hell!
I can't take it anymore!
I'm dying of laughter! "
Su Feng stared at the main stage with his mouth agape. He blinked several times to indicate that he was completely out of sorts.
Back on the main stage, Qin Ye stared at Zhou Xianlong, whose expression had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot, "Chief … if I told you that this was all a misunderstanding … would you believe me?"
